THE DO'S &
DON'TS
#HAIRHACKS
CLE AN E Y E
When lightening, use cotton to separate between
section to ensure no bleeding or overlapping.
COLOR FOR ALL
You can also use clear to dilute the shade for a
more subtle result.
STAY MOISTURIZED
Ensure your bleach remains moist- no moisture, no
power! Save yourself time by bringing a beaker of
extra peroxide with you to your station.
HIGH TENSION
Balayage is all about TENSION. Keep firm tension on
the hair, but soft tension with your brush. Balayage
literally means “to sweep.” Keep this in mind during
application & sweep the lightener over the hair.
TOTALLY DRENCHED
Use small sections to ensure complete saturation.
#HAIRHACKS
STR ATEGIZE YOUR SATUR ATION
When doing balayage, vary the amount of
saturation on the head. This will create varied
tones, hues, and intensity.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Your hair will be a big statement, so don’t use more than
three shadows. A base shadow, a crease and a shimmer or
highlight for the center of the lid.
RE-THINK THAT PINK
Use warmer tones to compliment a cooler hair color. For
example: If your want to be Minty-Fresh keep it peachy on
your cheeks and lips.
AU-NATURALE
Let your natural self come through. Utilize your pretty lip
by only adding gloss to the center. Blot and go.
COLOR MATCH
Using your finger, take a small dab of three shades you
think would match your coloring, and on your jaw line
on to your neck mark three lines to see which foundation
properly matches your skin tone!
UNDER-THE-WEATHER
Your skin tone changes with the seasons! Make sure you
keep this in mind when you’re looking to match your
choosing your foundation!
